| Summary/Abstract |
After 15 years of war in Afghanistan since the US sent troops, the peace process seems to have little traction. As the war has worn on, the Afghan government, the United States and allies have failed to end the continuing Taliban insurgency that even as late as the October 2016 favored suicide bombers, road mines and the killing of civilians. When the Afghan government and Afghan Taliban held their first direct talks in 2015 with Pakistan’s mediation, there seemed hope of resolution but the death of Taliban leader Mullah Omarin July 2015 derailed the peace process. In the wake of the drone attack that killed his successor Mullah Akhtar Mansour, the Taliban has violently fought Afghan government troops. The mechanism formed in 2009 of China, the US, Pakistan and Afghanistan is trying to try to putpeace talks back on track and restore stability, but the attack on a shrine full of Shiite worshippers and numerous other Taliban attacks to retake parts of the country are the latest atrocities.

| Summary/Abstract |
Combat aircraft constitute the cutting edge of any air force and so it is with the IAF as well. Modernisation and upgradation of combat platforms are ongoing processes that will help the IAF maintain the operational edge at all times. By the end of the 15th Five Year Plan, it is expected that the IAF inventory would consist largely of fourth and fifth generation platforms. Notwithstanding the depleting numbers that are being witnessed today, the continuing induction of new combat platforms such as the SU 30 MKI as well as the plans of acquiring the Rafale and the Tejas, the IAF would have the capability of long-range precision attack and of delivering conventional and nuclear weapons. This would give the IAF not just the necessary deterrence capability, but also a reliable second-strike capability.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since the mid-twentieth century, the professionalization of our disciplines has been a hallmark of higher education in general and the research university in particular.Despite the repeated calls over the past twenty-five years for a renewal of the civic mission of higher education, professionalization continues to hold tenacious sway and is largely understood to contradict the purposes and practices of public scholarship, which, in turn, is dismissed under the demoralizing rubric of service or the paternalistic rubric of outreach.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article seeks to demonstrate, largely from practitioners’ perspectives, the growing evolution in understanding and implementation of meaningful human rights standards within the policing context. In the early 2000s, human rights were perceived and treated as a rather restrictive framework in UK policing. They are now more readily seen as a set of tools that guide and help the police to balance the views and interests of all parties to the criminal justice process. Human rights values enable police in the UK to better endeavour to do the right thing, ‘without fear or favour’.

| Summary/Abstract |
India's understanding of Japan and the Japanese people, and Japan's understanding of India and Indian people are very superficial, and people in both country possess unrealistic, preconceived notions and outdated information on each other. Both India and Japan should shed their unrealistic, archaic and preconceived notions coming out of mutual ignorance.
